What people are always in a hurry

Effects on Your Body and How to Manage It

Always in a rush? You may have hurry sickness. Luckily, there are ways you can learn to step back and slow down.

If you spend most of your day racing to check items off your to-do list and feel agitated when anything tries to slow you down, then you may be dealing with hurry sickness.

You may walk fast, talk fast, and probably think that there isn’t enough time in the day to get things done.

With the demands of modern life, most people are in a rush much of the time. But when you start to juggle too much at once, it can have repercussions and may signal it’s time to slow down.

If you’re always on the move, you could be experiencing what cardiologists Meyer Friedman and R.H. Rosenman call “hurry sickness.”

Hurry sickness, coined in their 1985 book “Type A Behavior and Your Heart” isn’t an actual medical condition, but it’s known as a sense of excessive time urgency.

You may constantly feel rushed or anxious and have a feeling of urgency to get things done when there’s no need.

When you’re chronically in a hurry, it can mentally and physically affect you. In fact, Friedman and Rosenman found that hurry sickness was a component in type A personalities and may lead to stress-related heart issues.

A 2010 study that consisted of 442 people in Basra, Iraq, found evidence that people associated with Type A personality had a significantly increased chance of hypertension.

The first step to slowing down is learning how to recognize when you’re moving too fast.

Here’s what hurry sickness may look like:

• rushing through tasks
• feeling irritable when there’s a delay
• interrupting or talking over people
• running through your “to do” in your head
• treating everything like a race
• always feeling behind schedule
• continuously multi-tasking
• always having a sense of urgency

The overwhelming anxiety and stress that you feel from taking on too much may play a role in how you mentally and physically feel.

When this happens, you may notice physical health effects, such as:

• fatigue
• headaches
• low immune system

When you’re always in a hurry you’re more likely to neglect your self-care practices, which can contribute to the physical and mental symptoms you may feel.

When your brain is programmed to constantly be on the go, the sheer thought of slowing down may seem impossible. Consider these strategies to help you get out of the habit of rushing to get things done.

Embrace mindfulness

Consistently pushing yourself to meet a deadline or get things done even when it’s not necessary can put stress on your mind and body. Mindfulness can help focus your attention on the here and now.

When you’re used to multi-tasking, you’re used to completing several tasks at once which could mean your mind is going in a million different directions. Mindfulness will help you focus on the present moment, one task at a time.

If you experience an overwhelming feeling while multi-tasking, consider directing your awareness to your breath and your thoughts. Thoughts may come and go and that’s okay, if you feel safe you can observe your feelings without judgment.

This mindfulness strategy is always available to you and may help you focus on the present moment. Mindfulness takes practice, but in time you’ll get there.

Practice self-care

Spending your day always in a hurry may also mean that you’re neglecting your self-care.

It can be helpful to build self-care into your everyday routine. While your new goal may be to not have as many tasks on your plate, consider treating self-care like you would a doctor’s appointment and pencil it into your schedule.

You can use this time to do things you enjoy, whether it’s getting a massage or being with friends. Doing what brings you comfort and rest is completely up to you.

Prioritize your tasks

Ask yourself, “what is time-sensitive and what can wait?” Prioritizing your tasks may be hard at first, especially when you’re dealing with hurry sickness, and you feel like everything is equally important. But in time, it will get easier.

Try and focus on the essential things and set aside or delegate the other things that are trivial or don’t need your attention right away. You’d be surprised at how many things you can pass off to other people or that aren’t that necessary.

Set boundaries

If you have a hard time saying no when someone asks you to take on something, then you should consider setting clear boundaries for yourself.

Accepting more responsibilities than you can handle might be what led you to experience hurry sickness. To manage this and adopt a slower living lifestyle, being persistent with setting boundaries for yourself may help.

Consider the following tips to help you establish clear boundaries:

• learning to say no
• being assertive
• taking on only one task at a time

Think about saying yes to the things that you want to do, and no to the things you don’t.

When you treat everything like it’s an emergency even when it’s not, you’re putting stress on yourself, which can lead to feelings of mental and physical exhaustion.

Consider practicing the following strategies to help you slow down.

• mindfulness
• self-care
• prioritizing
• setting boundaries

If you feel like it’s too hard to break free from your patterns on your own, know you’re not alone and people are there to help and support you.

Consider speaking with a therapist to help you put together a plan to cope with hurry sickness and create a lasting change in your life.

"Hurry devalues ​​life" | PSYCHOLOGIES

A fast-growing passion that disappears after one night - instead of cautious approach and recognition, when there is a chance for something more than one orgasm ... Instead of selecting building materials, taking into account the characteristics of the terrain and climate - a quickly built house that begins to fall apart after six months.

Instead of a thoughtful transition from one state to another, there is a quick switch from one significant matter to another, which does not allow to be filled with what was lived.

Haste devalues ​​what was, does not allow you to feel the taste of life, which can be both sweet and bitter. But this is the taste of life… Every big business has an aftertaste. If you don’t feel it, don’t feel it, don’t give yourself time for it - as if there was nothing.

Now I am sad because a relatively short but eventful and emotional moment of my life has come to an end. But sadness makes me feel the value of what was. And the value for me of those people with whom I shared my feelings. And joy and pleasure, added to sadness, create a unique aftertaste, to escape from which is to devastate yourself.

The voice of life can be quiet. It's a whisper that tries to get through the roar of cars on the street, the voices of colleagues/bosses/relatives/friends... It's hard to focus on it if you're running in sync with the crowd, in the rhythm of a big metropolis - or even just standing in crowded public transport.

It’s hard to realize the value of things, people and ongoing processes in general, if you switch from walking to running… The words of a taxi driver slowly driving around the city, in response to my impatience: “I think so: it’s better to be 15 minutes late for work than to catch cemetery".

Do not stop, do not freeze - but move on, but slowly, not missing the details of the unfolding picture

To break through your own fantasies about a person to a living and real person (or experience) - you need time and unhurried attention.

Quick reactions, impulsive responses - all of them are based on pre-stored templates, on illusions about how and what the other person has… watchful, watchful waiting.

Seeing yourself, too. How many times has my impulsively realized “I want!” was replaced by an unsatisfied “why!?” ... Or you could pause: “I won’t do it right away, because the first impulse is sometimes wrong.” Or just slow down. Do not stop, do not freeze - but move on, but slowly, not missing the details of the unfolding picture.

And sometimes, faced with the temptation “I want!”, the temptation to quickly and immediately satisfy the impulse, I ask myself the question: “What will happen next?” And I often find there emptiness and melancholy, which I want to hammer again and again with impulse and haste . ..

This means that my “want” is in the wrong place…

This does not mean that any impulse is evil. After all, life is not only a leisurely flow of the rhythm of nature, when the sun rises from century to century, the seasons change and “everything returns to normal”. After all, this is a sharp jerk of a leopard after a long wait and tracking down prey, a jerk in which all the energy accumulated during the waiting time is invested.

This is the spontaneity of the dance, in which we shed accumulated fatigue and regain the freedom of the body…

Wings can be glued to a caterpillar, but it is unlikely that it will be able to use them...

A good impulse - the one that is ripe has been prepared. And not by feverish efforts, but by gradual maturation.

The birth of a butterfly is preceded by a pupal stage. You can, of course, quickly and effectively glue wings to the caterpillar, but it is unlikely that it will be able to use them . ..

Spontaneity, freedom in movement and feelings mature, and do not “roll”. And this is how I distinguish spontaneity from impulsiveness, when the impulse is given from the outside and, without being refracted in the soul, sharply provokes action.

No hurry. Everything that happens quickly does not last long. There is really nowhere to hurry ... More and faster - technically better than less and slower. But less and slower is better than nothing at all. And life is not very fond of extremes.

“Salmon is swift, strong and tireless. He swims thousands of kilometers. Conquers rapids and currents. Plows shallows and jumps on waterfalls. Without sleep. Without rest. In constant battle with the elements. He overcomes all obstacles, lays eggs and, completely exhausted, dies. So, remember. You are not a salmon."

For whom it is like. Not for everyone. It happens that it is better to live a moderate life (with feeling, tact, arrangement) Everything that many people desire in life is still not possible to achieve, and if they still try to do it, starting to live in fuss, then in the end you have to regret a lot, but there will never be a second life to live it, because then you eventually start to regret something. It's like: -Oh, e-May! ???????

You know, this is the meaning of life hammered into our heads, just like happiness is a new jacket or a new apple or an androyd, we all live according to the scheme that they drive into our heads . .. we always run and do not catch up, and if we catch up, then already there is something newer, brilliant and cooler, and most importantly, we people seem to like it!!!!! This is how we live our lives in pursuit of supposedly happiness, a better life and do not notice that we have it or are near us ....

Not fact. Everyone has their own meaning of life, and in general I consider the correct phrase of some sage that there is no need to look for the meaning of life, just live (for your own good and not to harm others). Rejoice every moment that you have close people, friends, that you have arms, legs (and some do not have them, but they live and rejoice that they are alive), that the sun is shining, a river is flowing, etc. etc.

Hello!!! You are right, we are in a hurry to not have time. But only few people think that it has already passed, this is history and will never return. What will happen tomorrow is not known to anyone and it is generally not clear whether it will come at all or not. Therefore, we must live today and, if possible, happily and joyfully.

Vanity is rather the cost of our life. The world is not adjusted to us (those who think so end their lives badly), in order to do everything in time, so you have to fuss to feed yourself, your family, to benefit any

It's impossible to say the same about everyone. Everyone has their own rhythm, depending on the goals. Indeed, there are people who are in a hurry to live, in a hurry to achieve their goals, but they also find time to relax.

Vanity leads away from meaning. This is an animal property of the energy of the body. The body wants comfort, food, etc., but the brain either obeys or does not have time to say to itself: Stop, I think to myself, but am I not a fool.

Vanity is inherent in a hardworking person striving for something, only this is not inherent in a drone, that is, it is not given.
